ML 150 G2 Hardware RAID

[Gurd Mar]

I have a ML 150 G2 SCSI [ 380189-011 ] with 6 x 72 GB 10 K U320 HotPlug HDD [ 377537-B21 ] - with an Adaptec AIC-7901X controller [ 373239-001 ] installed on PCI slot 1 with SCSI select utility v.4.30s6.

How can I "hardware" RAID 5 the above?

Doesn't give an option to RAID when the SCSI banner comes up option.

Hi Gurd!

Unfortunately, it's an impossible in your case. Adaptec AIC-7901X controller haven't RAID-5 capability, only RAID 1,0,10. Replace it to other full featured RAID controller such as SmartArray 641, if you really need RAID5 functionality.

Smart Array controllers are not supported in the ML150G2

Sorry forgot to add that you should use the 355671-B21 Adaptec PCI SCSI RAID controller.

I am running a SmartArray 641 card in a ML150 G2. Works great, RAID 5 with a spare. So, that shouldn't be a problem.
